I have a JD 720 gas that I am shopping for a mower for. I have plenty of HP, and my gates are all large enough, so I have been looking at 7' brush mowers. This would give me a mower slightly wider than the tractor, making edging easier, and cutting faster.
However there is a SUBSTANTIAL price difference between a 5' or 6' mower, and a 7'. Recently a friend told me that most brush mowers can be offset - then I could still edge cut, but only on one side.
I've also considered buying 2 5' mowers and fabricating a gang mount. Even with the extra cost of the splitter gearbox I'd still spend less.
Anybody have any ideas, experience, input??
Thanks
Gregg
